I liked the location and the facilities were clean and usable at all times. Great value for money in safe area with lots of shops and food places and the underground close by as well as Hyde Park. 100% reccomend for travelers on a budget.

There wasn't control giving to us to use the air-conditioning. Some nights were boiling hot and some nights a bit cold.

This was my second time staying here, and as usual it did its job - meeting the basic needs of a solo traveler who just needed a place to crash at night.

The stairs - it gets a bit ridiculous that people with huge luggage bags have to lug their stuff all the way to the top floor. I understand there is storage at the bottom, but surely lifts can be considered for people with accessibility challenges.

I had an amazing stay at this hostel! Everything was spotless, from the rooms to the common areas. The beds were super comfortable, and I loved how spacious the lockers were, plenty of room for all my stuff. There were more than enough showers and toilets, so I never had to wait. The kitchen was great, perfect for cooking your own meals. But the real highlight was the staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, especially Monalisa, always ready to assist and keeping the vibe alive with the best playlists. She definitely made the place feel even more welcoming. Highly recommend staying here. It’s the perfect mix of comfort, cleanliness, and great atmosphere!

The location is brilliant, less than a two minute walk to the 'tube' on a lovely quiet tree lined street that's one street over from a recently rejuvenated hub, plenty of restaurants, popular mini super markets, coffee stops, a stone throw from a famous park (Which is huge), individual cubical beds in dorms with divider/separate curtain, charging point and light in bed. Personal locker - bring own padlock. Nice new showers with good heat, great shared kitchen and dining areas. No curfew. Smoking/Vaping outside only. Greatly underestimated place to stay, worth every penny.

Smart Hyde Park Inn is all about location, tucked just a short walk from Hyde Park and well-connected by the London Underground, it’s a solid choice for budget travelers wanting to stay central. Baywaters/Queensway underground is walkable. The hostel offers basic facilities and the atmosphere is generally lively, attracting young backpackers from around the world.

That said, the rooms and bunks are extremely compact, with very limited personal space or storage, which might feel claustrophobic for some. Bathrooms can get busy and aren’t always the cleanest, but the staff are helpful and the vibe is social. If you're looking for a no-frills place to crash while exploring London, it does the job, just pack light and manage expectations.

Super clean dorm, kitchen and extremely safe chilling out spaces. Tons of charging points absolutely everywhere! Kind, friendly, very helpful staff, en-suite bathroom in dorm room (also super cleaned everyday by a very lovely cleaning team). Lots of books, puzzles and games should that be your thing, lots of space to sit, eat, stream etc. P.s A one hour walk to Londons best kept outdoor swimming pool…

Could do with more fridge space to store food, considering the number of rooms, a freezer would be great but I do get why they don’t have one!

It is a great location to explore Hyde Park and there is a tube station very close. Also close to food sources of all kinds and the neighborhood is very nice. A bit of a way from the east side things like the London Tower, so keep that in mind. I found my bed to be marginal in comfort, my partners was better. I have no complaints, but I have stayed in other hostels with better common areas, not bad, just not great. We had a room on the top floor, and we certainly were warned and expected it, but there were four floors of very steep stairs to get there. Overall good a good quality stay.

Common areas and the bed comfort was not the best, I may be being picky?

I recently stayed at **Smart Hyde Park Hostel** and had a fantastic experience. As a budget-friendly option in London, it offers excellent value with its **prime location**—close to Hyde Park, major attractions, and public transport. The **dormitory-style rooms** were clean, secure, and well-maintained, making it a great choice for solo travelers and backpackers. A special shoutout to **Monalisa at reception**, who was incredibly warm, helpful, and made check-in smooth. Her friendly service and local tips really enhanced my stay! For an **affordable, social, and well-located hostel** in London, **Smart Hyde Park** is a top pick. Highly recommended for budget-conscious travelers!

Perfect location – just a few steps from Hyde Park and Bayswater underground station. Excellent connections to central London. • affordable prices for London, ideal for budget travelers. • Friendly staff, happy to provide tips on sightseeing and transportation. • Communal areas like the kitchen and lounge are great for meeting other travelers. Around a lot restaurants and fast foods

Rooms are very small and cramped, especially in larger dormitories. Overall facilities are a bit worn and some areas would benefit from renovation.

Super clean hostel, comfy beds (on the whole...see below), Great WiFi. Location close to everything needed, value for money was amazing.

The beds were a little too short, and I'm an average sized guy, so could be too uncomfortable for anyone over 178cm. The vibe felt very "serious", perhaps bordering on the pretentious side, both staff and guests, but maybe that was part of the vibe for the area and perhaps me being more familiar with hostels being a little more lively. But don't take that as a complaint, more so an observation.
